Bolt jumps the gun; Blake takes gold in 100

Sunday

DAEGU, South Korea (AP) ? Usain Bolt again did the unbelievable when it mattered most in the 100 meters.

DAEGU, South Korea (AP) — Usain Bolt again did the unbelievable when it mattered most in the 100 meters.

This time, no gold medal or world record, but a false start and straight elimination from the world championships in a race he has regally reigned over for three years.

In a stunning few seconds, Bolt's showboating turned into disbelief when he jumped the gun and was led away from the track before Jamaican teammate Yohan Blake won gold ahead of American rival Walter Dix.

While everyone had been wondering what Bolt would do to his world record of 9.58 seconds, it was Blake who won his first 100 title with a slow time of 9.92, the only racer to break 10 seconds in the final.
